From “In the beginning” to the last “Amen” of Revelation, the entire Bible is being read aloud on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol starting today (May 2). The 16th annual Bible reading marathon will continue day and night, regardless of weather, until four p.m. on Thursday, the National Day of Prayer. Rev. Michael Hall, who heads the effort, says some passers-by take offense at what they hear. Others, including many foreign visitors, are amazed that it is legal to read the Bible out loud on the U.S. Capitol grounds. Hall says it is officially a “demonstration,” and he tells hecklers that they can go and stage their own demonstration. [AP]
